SFPC' rejects AHEC·'s proposal . by Richard Bellizzj
•
The Student Facilities Policy Council Friday voted to not send its chair and vice chair to participate in a special five-member committee formed by AHEC Executive Director Jerry W_artgow to examine the current structures of the SFPC and the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board. ~ The vote came in response to Wartgow's charge that the special committee "evaluate the current organiza!ional relationships, roles and responsibilities of the SFPC . - and SACAB." . W artgow designated as chair of the ~pecial committee Tom Hanna, UCD Executive Council president, and asked him to meet with the chair and vice chair of ' the SFPC and SACAB. In a memorandum, Wartgow told Hanna that based upon the .committee's evaluations, it should "prepare its recommendations for ... · the Auraria Board of Directors (to be transmitted via the Executive Committee) . concerning whether
changes should be inade to ·the current structure" of both advisory bodies. The Executive Committee is comprised of the chief executive from UCD, MSC and CCD-A. The attempt to establish the special committee comes after a controversial decision by the SFPC to re-allocate space from

At that meeting, MSC President Richard Fontera contended the SFPC did not have the authority to re-allocate space which was originally designated as the Health Clinic's, and that while he believes the SFPC acted in good faith, it did not have
according to guidelines. · Joyce Parks, CCD,.A Student Activities Director and administrative representative on the. SFPC, objected to the form~tion of the committee without total involvement of the SFPC. "We cannot afford to let an ad hoc committee be responsible for ho~ we operate," Parks said. "We have too many responsibilities; if we let them (AHEC) impact us, we won't be able to do
our job... Tad Millard, SACAB chairman and ex-officio member of the SFPC, sees the special committee as "purely for communication purposes." · "There is good communication," Parks responded, "you're giving a lot of validity to something that is not a problem." Gina Johnson, MSC's administrative representative, expressed her interpretation of Wartgow's attempt to form the committee. · ''This smacks of Daddy scolding the kiddies,•• Jol)nson said. "The only time Jerry Wartgow comes to us ' is if he doesn't like something. I think ifs a good idea if we do our own self evaluation .., The SFPC, in addition to refusing to send representatives to the Jan. 24 meeting, voted to hold a joint meeting of all members of the SFPC and SACAB.
